everyone who comes to our house goes out of their way to tell us how our cat “hates them” and is “nasty,” but here’s the thing:
nobody listens to us when we tell them she’s wary of new people and to LEAVE HER ALONE. everyone approaches the fuckin cat, holding out their hands, or trying to pet her, or get WAY too close just to talk to her. guess what. i’d probably swipe you, too.
i have said a million times, “leave her alone, she will come check you out when she’s ready” only to have the person/people do what they want anyway. she permanently hates my FIL because he tried one too many times to approach her as he would a dog, and she was not having it.
how ‘bout before you tell someone their pet is an asshole (she is, aren’t all cats to some degree? but she’s nice with us -- you know, the people who actually live here), you make sure that you’re not the fucking problem. she doesn’t hide and wait for people to come by and then attack them. she is sitting somewhere, minding her own fucking business, and every single one of these people approach her in some way. why is it so fucking hard to just IGNORE THE CAT???
“but i wasn’t even close to her!” 5 feet is pretty close, friend. if a human i don’t know is 5 feet from me, i’m uncomfortable too. strangers. pass.
“all i did was look at her!” again... she’s a living thing, so i’m pretty sure eye contact is considered interaction. if a person walked up to you and stared at you, you’d probably not want to dive right in and be their friend immediately.
i love this scene because josh casually called her out on her ignorance and didn’t coddle her afterwards when she tried to play victim. all while eating pickles out of a jar.
If I see one more white girl with the LOOSEST wave pattern in her hair call it “SUPER curly!” or worse yet, “KINKY” I will start delivering glitter bombs with “NOPE” confetti.
ALSO, when you take french-braided pigtails out of your otherwise straightAF hair and then complain “ugh my hair is so BIG and POOFY and, liek, NAPPY” you literally need to take a fucking seat and that’s the nicest way I can say what I want to say.
i joined a bunch of local mom groups because i have no friends up here in our new town, and this one woman posted looking to hang out with someone so i went to her profile and saw that her husband has a “no fear, no regrets” tattoo and i had a cringe moment.
my in laws are the super sheltered kind of white people who don’t season meat and think everything with salt or pepper is “too salty” or “really spicy/hot.” my FIL still uses the word “colored” to describe black people. they’re not racist, but a little ignorant and they’re still stuck in the 70s in more ways than one. does it make family dinners a little embarrassing and pretty bland? yes. does is negatively impact our relationship? no.
point being, i don’t think it’s necessary to fight every minor race battle that pops up. or to label everyone who says something that is a little ignorant, race-wise, as a racist. i pick my battles and educate when i can, when i think it will be understood and maybe, possibly, absorbed. my life is a lot happier that way. a lot of you guys are ready to fight down everyone and everything that comes your way, and that’s your prerogative.
i hate when movies/tv shows get rape-y. like why does there always have to be a sexual angle to any assault?
female walks down the street and gets mugged. mugger, instead of just taking her money/purse and getting the fuck out (which is statistically what is far more likely to happen IRL), just HAS to get slimey and rape-y. WHY. going from theft to rape is a pretty steep crime jump.
there are a billion examples of this and it’s so cringey, especially in the horror genre. just stop. stop.
